FILE --> wvStream conversion in wv APIs, courtesy of James Montgomerie
<jamie@montgomerie.net>

  M wv/* (96 files total)
  M abi/src/wp/impexp/xp/ie_imp_MsWord_97.cpp

Notes:

1. Don't forget to cvs update both the wv and abi trees.

2. Likewise, a "make realclean" is highly recommended.

3. This is Jamie's patch, plus the trivial one-line fix for Win32. Any
breakage of the Be builds should be glaringly obvious on Tinderbox.

Enjoy!

Paul

PS: Jamie, here are Caolan's comments confirming that you're totally on the
right track:
